I was driving around the other day and my traction off light came on and when i use my scanner i get this
p1571 (pending) (history) (current) (immature)
ive cleared the code a couple times and i can get it to stay off if the car is off but otherwise when i start the car it comes right back
alldata says this about the code
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The traction control system uses the antilock brake system in conjunction with the PCM fuel and ignition controls to limit drive wheel slippage during acceleration. The PCM controlled portion of the traction control system reduces engine torque by any or all of the following methods:
- Retarding spark timing
- Altering air/fuel ratio
- altering boost PWM
- Shutting OFF up to three injectors
To determine the amount of torque reduction required, the PCM monitors the TCS Desired Torque PWM signal from the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM). The PCM also provides a TCS Delivered Torque PWM informing the Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module (EBTCM) how much torque is being produced by the engine. The Desired Torque display on the scan tool indicates the amount of engine torque requested by the EBTCM. With traction control not active, Desired Torque should vary between 99 percent and 100 percent. The Desired Torque display on the scan tool is not the PWM duty cycle.
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
- Desired torque signal PWM duty cycle is less than 5 percent or greater than 95 percent.
- The conditions exists for up to 10 seconds
Any ideas what to check or where these items that need to be checked are located? Also is this hurting performance by not being fixed?
